Chapter 3 Frenzied Hoarding of Supplies



The moment he left home, Xiao Chen was filled with emotion. Feeling the sunlight outside, he could hardly believe it. He saw Xiao Chen standing in the sunlight, closing his eyes, quietly basking in the warmth of the sun.

Xiao Chen hadn't felt the warmth of sunshine for two months.

After a week of heavy rain, followed by two months of heavy snow, social order collapsed completely. Even Xiao Chen, the manager of Meiyijia Store, was somewhat powerless after two months of perseverance.

In the end, he was tricked by Chen Shuisi, had his legs broken, and was thrown down to be fed to the snow demon.

Just as Xiao Chen was basking in the warmth of the sunlight, a piercing sound came from the side.

"Mom, what is this uncle doing?"

Xiao Chen opened his eyes curiously and saw a woman holding a small child not far away. After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen remembered that the two of them lived in the same apartment building as him.

Her name is Zhao Xiaohua, and the child is Zhao Xiaohua's child. Don't be fooled by the child's well-behaved appearance; in fact, he is a complete brat. Zhao Xiaohua spoils her child because her husband is the director of the regulatory bureau.

However, in Xiao Chen's memory, Zhao Xiaohua's family did not seem to have an easy time when the disaster struck. Zhao Xiaohua's husband, Tang Xiaohu, took advantage of his position as the director of the regulatory bureau to deceive many people and make them hand over a lot of stored grain.

They also played a part in the robbery of his own home, so Xiao Chen naturally didn't have a good impression of them.

"Baby, don't mind him. This uncle is an idiot. He's sunbathing here in this hot weather."

Zhao Xiaohua, holding her child Tang Jian, looked at Xiao Chen with disdain and said.

He wished he could take Tang Jian and leave right now.

Upon hearing Zhao Xiaohua's words, Xiao Chen realized that it was summer, but it didn't matter anymore.

Anyway, heavy snow will arrive soon, and they will all be dead. Even if they don't freeze to death, Xiao Chen will force them to freeze to death.

Watching Xiao Chen's departing figure, Zhao Xiaohua smiled smugly, clearly believing that Xiao Chen was afraid of her. Little did she know that Xiao Chen simply didn't want to waste too much time on a dying man.

Soon, Xiao Chen easily found his way to Meiyijia, the store he was in charge of. As the store manager, Xiao Chen was not required to come to work unless absolutely necessary.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen appear, the shop assistant became curious, since they rarely saw him there, but still greeted him.

"Manager."

When the shop assistant greeted him, Xiao Chen nodded indifferently and said "hmm".

Shop assistant Wang Chang didn't find it surprising, after all, Xiao Chen was just like that.

After saying that, Xiao Chen walked towards the store's warehouse, which contained enough supplies for a normal person to use for a hundred years. When he obtained the Creation Ring, Xiao Chen learned that time inside was frozen.

In other words, even if Xiao Chen takes out items from the Creation Ring after hundreds of years, they will remain intact, so there is no need to worry about them expiring.

Xiao Chen quickly took out the key and went to the warehouse. Wang Chang naturally didn't dare to follow. Only the store manager could enter the warehouse. If he went in and something was missing, he would have to come to Wang Chang.

Xiao Chen was the store manager of the largest Meiyijia store in Hangzhou. The storage warehouse here was naturally exceptional, with an area of ​​over 100 square meters. There were also cameras in the four corners of the warehouse. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen took a deep breath.

He was able to come here to get supplies because he had thought of a solution. Xiao Chen was powerless against firearms at the moment.

Only after breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining can one catch a bullet with bare hands.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one should be able to use more powerful firearms, such as machine guns.

That's a bit of a tangent. Meiyijia's warehouse is usually inspected only once every seven days, but the inspection only started two days ago.

So the next check-up will be in five days, but by then the heavy rain will probably have flooded Meiyijia, making it impossible to conduct the check-up.

The surveillance was connected to headquarters, so he was constantly being monitored, but this was nothing to Xiao Chen.

Since almost no one enters the warehouse, the footage can be kept running. With that in mind, Xiao Chen took out the photos he had prepared in advance, which were all taken from various corners of the surveillance cameras.

All that was seen was Xiao Chen taking a deep breath, and the next second he used his spiritual power to interfere with the monitoring.

"Old Wang, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Meanwhile, in Meiyijia's monitoring center, more than ten security guards sat in front of the monitoring screens, which connected to Meiyijia stores throughout Hangzhou, totaling over a hundred.

They can call the police immediately if any of the Meiyijia stores experience an accident.

"What should we eat? I'll have to ask my wife about that."

One of the security guards seemed to have an idea and smiled as he spoke.

But soon I noticed that the images on all four screens had turned into static.

"What's going on? Has something unexpected happened?"

The dozen or so security guards quickly tensed up after witnessing this scene.

But after a few seconds, the footage in the monitor returned to normal, and everything was still there.

"It's probably electromagnetic interference. There have been news reports recently that solar flares will be more frequent in the near future."

One of the security guards seemed to have thought of something and smiled as he spoke.

Hearing this, everyone quickly calmed down, as long as nothing was missing from inside.

Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Chen had already pasted the forged photos onto the surveillance cameras inside the Meiyijia warehouse.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he stored all the supplies in the warehouse into the Creation Ring.

After doing all this, Xiao Chen calmly left the warehouse.

"Manager, you're out?"

At this moment, Wang Chang was sitting at the cashier playing on his phone. When he saw Xiao Chen come out, he quickly put his phone away and said something.

Xiao Chen didn't say anything about his slacking off, after all, he had done it himself.

"Okay, you stay here and work hard. I probably won't be coming to the store for the next three days."

After saying this, Xiao Chen was about to leave, but before he left, he thought of something and paused.

"By the way, Chief Wang, I've heard from the bottom of the road that there will be a heavy rain soon, and it's estimated to last quite a while. You should stock up on some food."

After saying this, Xiao Chen left. After all, Wang Chang had been with him for some time, so Xiao Chen naturally gave him a reminder within his power.

Whether Wang Chang listens or not is his own business.

"Hoarding food? Why is the store manager acting so strangely?"

Wang Chang thought with some doubt, but after thinking about it, he decided to stock up on some grain. After all, Xiao Chen was only twenty-three years old when he became the store manager, so he must have some ability. It shouldn't be a baseless rumor.

However, what Wang Chang did not expect was that his decision today would allow him to survive in the apocalypse.

Of course, Xiao Chen was unaware of this at the time, as he walked straight toward the bank.
